These photographs were contributed to this website by Joan Redmond. Joan adds that in the photo of the Alexander Allen family, the eldest people in the picture were her great-great-great-grandparents. Joan also sends the captions.

The other people in the photo are probably the rest of the Allen siblings, in-laws and children. I just don't know which name goes with which face. I am Cora Allen Hollins's great-granddaughter. Her father worked at Cluett and Peabody, in the sewing-machine department. My grandmother says that her father had a bicycle dealership.
